Boarded-up House
This looks as if it is in the grounds of Tullos Academy. One would have thought that it would be easy to find tenants or a buyer for a house like this.

Grampian Place
Neat 20th century council housing with unusually decent-sized windows. It's amazing how effective a row of wheelie bins can be in spoiling the appearance of a street.

The old Torry Nursery School
Note the overhanging roof and the big glass doors from the fresh air tradition of the thirties and forties.

Tullos Place
Neat 20th century council housing with unusually decent-sized windows. It's amazing how effective a couple of large wheeled bins can be in spoiling the appearance of a street.

The old Torry Nursery School on Oscar Road
Closed about two years ago and currently used by the after school club but surely phased for demolition.

Early morning sea haar in Torry housing estate.
On the east coast of Scotland a sea fog, known locally as Haar, often plagues the local residents and ruins what would otherwise be a fine day. It most commonly occurs between April and September, on or near the east coast or in the Northern Isles.
It does not usually penetrate far inland, but can filter through valleys like the Great Glen and the Central Lowlands as far as Glasgow. Haar forms when a parcel of warm air passes over the cold North Sea. The warm air at the bottom of the parcel is cooled by the cold air below, until it can no longer 'hold' the moisture that was previously contained within. Therefore, it releases some of the moisture in the form of liquid water through condensation. Add an onshore component like a wind of 5-20mph, and the cooling in the bottom of the warm parcel of air is spread upwards and generates a fog like Haar.

Torry Neighbourhood Centre, Oscar Road, Torry
Torry has been blighted by substance abuse more than most communities and this "one stop shop" (see: http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/xcc_NeighbourhoodDetail.asp?id=2593&ind=4&ind2=47&cat=2) is one response from the City of Aberdeen.
